ZAGREB, Dec 6 (Hina) - Croatian parliament speaker Zlatko Tomcic
received unassigned police officers on Thursday, who protested in
Zagreb's St. Mark's square warning about irregularities and the
disrespect of criteria established during the rationalisation
process in the Interior Ministry.
Representatives of the unassigned police officers presented their
requests to Tomcic, namely replacements in the ministry's internal
control department, better efficiency of the State Prosecutor's
Office, an investigation into the reorganisation plan and cases of
abuse of office in the interior ministry, assignments to new posts
or the retirement.
They suggested to Tomcic the establishment of an investigating
commission which would examine all job dismissal cases and the
process of making police officers available.
Apart from irregularities in the rationalisation process,
unassigned policemen also pointed out the overall poor situation in
the police.
Tomcic said this was a serious problem which affected unassigned
policemen, but also a problem which threatened the seriousness and
dignity of an important state service such as the police.
He suggested coordinating associations of unassigned police
officers should continue the talks with the Interior Minister, Sime
Lucin, in order to re-examine all claims about irregularities in
the rationalisation process.
Tomcic promised he would personally talk to government
representatives.
Members of the parliamentary war veteran' committee also held talks
with the unassigned police officers.
